This guest post is part of our 30 Days of Homeschool: The Good, The Bad & The In-Between Blog Series

As part of our 30 Days of Homeschool series, Jan Burt tells it like it is after more than 25 years.

Taking on life as a mom to five is one thing….but homeschooling all five of them from preschool through high school graduation is something else entirely. Anybody who might tell you that homeschooling is dreamy-awesome and just blessing-blessing-blessing all day long is not telling you the whole truth. It is those things; it is also a whole lot of other things as well.

First, let me tell you about the good stuff.

Homeschooling allowed me to spend approximately THREE TIMES as much time with my children as compared to friends who sent their children to public school. That’s a big deal ~ an enormous deal! I was able to be thankful for all the time I had with them instead of resentful that they grew up and I never got to enjoy them (which often is the case with public education).(more…)

Can’t make it to all 25 sessions?

No problem! Click here to purchase your all-access pass for only $67. This is your pass for lifetime access to all the speakers’ sessions. Personally, I can never attend all of the online summits that I hope to attend because of life commitments, and I always end up purchasing the passes (if they are inexpensive like this one). Confession: I don’t usually even view them until summer when our life settles down and we have a bit more time. I like to really internalize what I’m learning and apply it to my next-year’s planning: summer is the best time for this for me.
